Details of the issue:

Any time I try to launch any mod packs, it won't work. It tells me the check help.mojang.com to make sure none of the services are down; but they're all working fine.​

It says there's no connection when I click on the "news" tab. There aren't any firewalls blocking the connection either. My Internet connection is working just fine.

I figured out the solution. I was getting an "unrecognized windows socket error 10106. After spending a while trying to figure out how to fix this, I ended up running the command prompt as an administrator (type cmd in the search bar, right click the cmd program and run as administrator). I then typed in "netsh winsock reset" without quotes and then pressed enter. Then I restarted my computer. Everything works fine now.

Nice work. I recently found that solution also. Now I know it really might help => it goes in my knowledge base.
